It was a late decision.

The sound mix had problems on the PS4 as well. Definitely the worst aspect of the game.

Dammit, I have yet to see any good OT titles floated.
It is officially on XB1 retail now, must have been a last minute decision.

|OT| Out With The New Order, In With The Old Blood
Solid.

Damn, why are some of you people so good at this? I thought about it for hours and came up with nothing! I'm an idiot. I'll probably use that for the OT if you're ok with that.

Fantastic
Anyway, really hoping they add something for replayability, Although doubtful.

That's fine. Honestly, it's probably the only OT name I've come up with that anyone has liked (even though I've only suggested a few before haha).

Yes you do, it's amazing.
Nice. Maybe drop Order and Blood? Sound a little "weird" with the extra word(s) (only my opinion). IE a more clear-cut take on "In with the new, out with the old".
But really like you train of thought.

Yeah, I noticed it starting to pop up on various sites over the last couple of days.
it's available for £12.99 from Gameseek if anyone's interested. PS4 and X1 are the same price.

Anyway, it just popped up on the Xbox Store for pre-order too - 37.14gb. Pretty hefty download, not a sign of how much content there is of course, but much bigger than I anticipated...

That sounds good.
Bloody hell, that's disgusting. new order was 50gb, so this is a full retail game for £15 or are machinegames shite at compressing files?
That's good.
I'm still bummed out that last year we did not use |OT| The Man in High Castle Wolfenstein for W:TNO.
Even through the textures are pretty low resolution, the MegaTexture technology means that basically all environmental art is unique. No texture tiling anywhere. Takes up a lot of space!
Idtech 5 allows for a great variety of texture data. It's all compressed a great deal.

Thinking of getting this on XboxOne instead (vastly prefer the controller over PS4).
Are XboxOne games region free?

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out already but it's up on Amazon UK for £13.85

Which is insane for a physical game in 2015.

I learned from this thread that Bethesda's Facebook page is 90% people begging for Fallout 4. More excited for TOB personally.
Yes they are.

£12.99 from Gameseek if you're a real cheap arse gamer.
From the other thread:
HLTB says the average play time for Wolf14's "main story" is 11h57m, which is a figure derived from 244 user submissions, so TOB is roughly half the length. Not too shabby when you consider you're getting half a prequel for a third of the price of a full game.

Never played the original. I guess I should get on that.
The gameplay was good in Wolfenstein, but I felt it's strongest aspect was the characters and writing. This looks to be shifting that tone to become more all out crazy shenanigans. I'm interested to see how it does and may dive in, however I hope the next iteration doesn't leave behind that perfect mix of strong story and inglorious style gameplay.
It took me almost 15 hours to clear TNO, but I started immediately on Uber difficulty. Maybe another 3 hours to get all the missing stuff for Platinum.
